These require a more detailed fire risk assessment under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 — including fire safety instructions to residents and, where applicable, a personal emergency evacuation plan (PEEP) — and our NEBOSH-qualified assessors write the report to satisfy both the West Midlands Fire and Rescue Service and the Care Quality Commission expectations.
